Goddess i Sought

I was a lone wolf of a decent breed,

Without the park, I denied my hunting creed;

After the shadows of the goddess of my dreams,

Wantonly charmed by her daunting streams.

A glimpse was all I saw;

When thou laid nestling by the shore;

Thy voice charmed me to a softly fall,

Beyond this shadow I pray for more;

Show me the entrance to thy abode;

Let thy petals to my touch unfold,

I will honour thy bids as divine duty;

O'ye the embodiment of beauty,

Even if it's for a thousand years, let it be;
Let thy immortality entangle me;

I will set the course to thy sanctuary,

Where thy awesomeness deeply rooted naturally,

I plunged ahead on this uncharted course,
I swam deeply through her terrestrial cores;

Pleasure, hatred - Still I chanted along,

Those names I learnt from an aging song.

By thy shore, I will wait,
But not so long to be late;

Till thy shadows become real,

Unfettered to thy spell-bound seal.
